On this Special Report, India Today’s Indrajeet Kundu provides an on-ground account of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s massive padayatra in Kolkata. The rally marks a ‘fiery start to the upcoming polls’ in the state, highlighting a direct showdown between the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Kundu observes that despite limping, Banerjee chose to walk the 5-6 km stretch to maintain her ‘mass connection’ with the people, particularly women who constitute a significant portion of the crowd. The report emphasises Banerjee’s reliance on her personal appeal to counter political challenges and central agencies. Kundu notes, ‘She still continues to remain a very, very popular leader on ground,’ as she navigates the enthusiastic supporters and security cordons. The programme explores the political dynamics and the intense electoral battle brewing in West Bengal as both parties gear up for the crucial weeks ahead.
